 | The Promise | aldersmith | Novel | Literary Fiction | 2 | n/a | Aug 21, 2008 |
Summary:Okay. Reading Out of the Dust has inspired me to write a verse novel. The Promise is the story of accepting the challenge and responsiblity of caring for a 95 year old. The genre is fictionalized memoir, but we don't yet have that one listed. I am very uncertain about the order of the chapters, ultimately, I will probably shuffle them like a deck of cards unless I have an ephiphany about how this all fits together. Interested in any feedback, especially those who understand what I am trying to attempt.Chapters: |

During his visit, the student learns of a life changing tragedy brought on by an accident caused by their grandson that has left the elderly couple without family, neighbors or friends.
I would like feedback on the story as a whole, but especially if what the grandson did is clear.Chapters: |
| If I had Only Known;Breaking The Silence Of Caregiver Abuse | Brooke Jennings | Novel | Non-Fiction | 2 | n/a | Oct 19, 2007 |
Summary:This book is a non-fiction work, and discusses corporate America's role in the quality of care patients receive in nursing homes, group homes and institutions. The novel is based on true events. Due to the graffic details and personal stories about patient abuse, reader discretion is advised. I am interested in viewer feedback regarding the books informative features,and if it would make you pay closer attention to who you might choose to care for your parents or grandparents if they became bedridden.I would also like to know what emotions it evokes in you,ie; anger, sadness,(writer or patient)or if it makes anyone interested enough to do something about the abuse of these patients?Perhaps thinking of creating advocacy groups,changing laws, writing to government officials etc. Thank you for your interest!
God Bless...Happy writing....Chapters: |
